THE CURIOUS CASE OF JORDAN HENDERSON AND HIS FUNNY LITTLE SKIP
BY @EVAN FANNING
This is all just a little bit odd
It would seem that Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has developed a sixth sense.
No, he can't see dead people (we assume) but Hendo appears to have developed a preternatural understanding of when a goal is about to be scored.
If you see the soon-to-be Liverpool captain do a little skip then you know the ball is about to hit the net.
His running style may have been famously doubted by Sir Alex Ferguson, but this affectation is truly groundbreaking.
Don't believe us? Well watch him (bottom left of clip) as Raheem Sterling danced his way into the Chelsea penalty area on Tuesday night.
This came just a couple of days after a more blatant skip by the midfielder and Rickie Lambert smashed home Liverpool's second at Aston Villa.
Earlier in the season he produced perhaps the best hop of all moments before Steven Gerrard slotted home Liverpool's second against Leicester City.
As far as we can tell, Hendo's hop dates back to last season when it first appeared during the FA Cup tie against Oldham Athletic.
So impressed was he by it that he also managed to work the little jump into his goal celebration as well as in the build up to the strike.
And it later appeared as Luis Suarez was about to stick the ball in the net during the 6-3 win at Cardiff.
Why would he be doing this?
What can only assume that the very prospect of a goal being scored fills Henderson with such a rush of excitement that the only suitable form of release is a hop, skip and a jump like he's some crazed 10-year-old who has had too much sugar.
Either that or we want him to fill in our betting coupon.
Hat-tip to Andy Heaton.

Themn - that's the most blatant re-direction to get more likes than the original post that I've ever seen!
Truly didn't mean it that way.
I just prefer articles to be presented here, rather than just a link (no dig at Dave).
I was going to make a post about this but couldn't decide if it deserved it's own thread or not.
ILD's thread title is better than any old shite I would have come up with.
EVERYONE GIVE ILD THE *LIKES* etc..!
Did I mention that I fucking love Jordan Henderson?
Legend. I gave you both likes.
Also, I love him too! I think he's only going to grow even more with the added responsibility, now. He's been displaying some immense passing range and shooting ability too recently.
We have been all over this for years. As usual the mainstream media picks things up years after we've analysed them. This dick doesn'\t even realise he's gambolling. Skipping indeed!
We all know what he's doing, right? I do it playing Fifa, or watching football, I sit there subconsciously kicking out everytime a shot is on or a tackle is there to made, a few people have nearly called the emergency services watching the match with me. I will every ball, every tackle & every shot. I break furniture, animals and small children doing so.
Our Jordan has the same affliction, look at the timing of his skip, he does it as the shot is about to be made, it's his subconsciousness willing his team mate on, to "fucking smash it like it's Costa".

I just made all the effort posting that, and then you do it in one line. FFS.
There's a danger here that we could end up knowing the pain of an original Manics fan, post-'A Design For Life'.
I hear you Doc. I tweeted them to say he was in fact gamboling.
That'll be me!
That amount of times I get angry with blank looks when I mention the fact almost every one of their singles that have sold since he left are just a retake of motorcycle emptiness & get far too angry are just silly.
Hopefully Richey is alive & well somewhere laughing his tits off at them.
Ha, in fairness I did just post the link. Themn did fine work fleshing out the article for those less inclined to click on a link.
Did you used to *dye your hair black and wear eye-liner?
*post-'rumbled by Ruairi' edit*
No, I made some stupid choices when I was young but I valued getting girls above all else!
"Hi, my name is Jordan Henderson & I'm a gamboling addict"
Drat and double-drat!
Yeah yeah, but the bird from The Cardigans one! They didn't rip off Motorcycle Emptiness with that one, they ripped off You Stole The Lying Rag From My Heart, (which admittedly rips off Motorcycle Emptiness).
It's the little victories.
Indeed.
*plots to make certain someone's copper-coloured locks somewhat darker*
*speeds off in lovely motorised canoe to black hair dye shop, located next to riverbank for some reason*
You didn't get my joke then? Shame on you. Or me.
I'm wasted in here.
As you have been elsewhere, I'll bet. 😉
In more ways than one.
